Good news, the recent bonus bonanza spreading.

Cooley got the COVID appreciation bonuses ball rolling (even if they were later overshadowed by Davis Polk and others with a more generous scale). And their appreciation isn’t limited to just associates. They are sharing the love with staff as well. The firm has announced that at the end of the month, the firm will be distribute an appreciation bonus to all professional staff.

Nicely done! And during a time when staff positions have been particularly hard hit by layoffs (even elite firms like Skadden and Cleary have laid folks off), it’s great to see some Biglaw staffers rewarded for the hard work they do to keep Biglaw running.
